Travel News

How far did I travel this week?:

I stayed inside Dushanbe this week. Here's a video of me walking around my neighborhood -- you'll have to forgive that it ends so suddenly; my phone died! https://youtu.be/sDrN06wtDHo 

How far have I traveled on this journey so far?:

Sometimes I feel like I travel to and from the same places in the city every day -- up and down the same avenues and streets. I know that almost every day, I walk four miles getting to where I need to go. 

How did I get around this week?:

I ran!

What was the most interesting place I visited this week?:

This week I went to the office of a company that's conducting a country-wide literacy test in Tajik schools. They found out that on average, only 30-40% of Tajik students can read at grade level. It was an interesting meeting, but also pretty depressing.
